Looks like they forgot to crimp up the shaft!
I'd still polish it up.

That's because I removed them rpcarpe. I think I'll still polish them up some more. 8)

not sure if i get it.
first you say stock bsa rite out of the box.
then you say you removed the crimp marks.
and the pics are slightly a blurr.
either way i would still polish to 12000 grit at least.
and the same for the bores.
either way good luck.
